Drew Dalman - Limited in Wednesday's practice Dalman (ankle) was a limited participant in Chicago's practice Wednesday.

Impact Dalman popped up on the injury report Wednesday, putting him in danger of missing his first game of the season. If the 27-year-old is unable to play in Sunday's matchup versus the 49ers, Ryan Bates would likely start at center in his place.

Bears, Patriots, Jaguars Reach Playoffs in Stunning 1st-Year Coaching Turnarounds

Nahshon Wright - Limited Wednesday Wright (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Wright played 100 percent of defensive snaps in the Bears' 22-16 overtime win over the Packers last Sunday, so it is unclear where he picked up the hamstring issue. The cornerback's ability to start the week practicing bodes well for his chances of suiting up for Sunday night's game against the 49ers. If Wright can string together consecutive practices to end the week, he has the opportunity to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest.

C.J. Gardner-Johnson - Limited due to knee Gardner-Johnson (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Gardner-Johnson exited in the fourth quarter of last Saturday's win over the Packers with a knee issue and did not return. The starting slot cornerback's ability to log practice in any capacity is a good sign for his availability ahead of Sunday night's matchup with the 49ers. The 28-year-old will have two more chances to increase his practice participation to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest.

Kevin Byard III - Limited with ankle issue Byard (ankle ) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Byard played 100 percent of defensive snaps in last Saturday's overtime win over the Packers, so it is unclear where the starting safety sustained his ankle issue. Regardless of where it was sustained, the 32-year-old's ability to practice even in a limited capacity bodes well for his chances to suit up for Sunday night's game against the 49ers. Byard will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation to full in hopes of dodging an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest.

T.J. Edwards - DNP with glute issue Edwards (glute) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Edwards had a double-digit tackle game last Saturday against the Packers. At the same time, he played 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps, so it is unclear when the linebacker sustained his current injury. The 29-year-old will have two more chances to increase his practice participation in hopes of dodging an injury designation before Sunday night's primetime game against the 49ers.

Chicago Bears Injury Report: Updates For Rookie Luther Burden, Rome Odunze, More The first installment of the Chicago Bears injury report is out.

9 HOURS AGO • BLEACHERNATION.COM

Luther Burden III - Limited in return to practice Burden (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.

Impact This marks Burden's first official on-field work since he suffered an ankle injury Week 15 against the Browns. He may need to upgrade to full participation Thursday or Friday in order to avoid a designation ahead of Sunday's game at San Francisco, but he appears to be a better bet to return to action Week 17 than fellow WR Rome Odunze (foot), who remained sidelined at practice Wednesday.

9 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Rome Odunze - Remains sidelined at practice Odunze (foot) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Odunze hasn't been able to practice in any capacity since Dec. 12 as he tends to a stress fracture in his foot. He's missed the last three games as a result and appears in danger of stretching it to four absences, unless he's able to mix into drills Thursday and/or Friday. Fellow WR Luther Burden (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, so the Bears may get back at least one of their key pass catchers for Sunday's contest at San Francisco.
